Doubt!

To doubt yourself is to deny yourself the opportunity of proving yourself.

 No matter how great or small your doubt,

it will be sufficient to prevent you from making the attempt.

The right attitude for you is, "If I try and fail, at least I have tried".

This is far better than not to attempt to do something.

No person can rightfully criticise you for trying,

but all will do so for not trying.

Believe in yourself and anything is possible,

no matter how great or how small your wish.

Focus on the pleasure you will create in trying.

Your doubts are not only destructive, they are contagious.

You will create doubt in the minds of those around you

if you persist in negative thoughts.

Say that you can, and you will.

Say that you cannot, and you will not.

This is a fact, and you should grow stronger

in the knowledge that all attempts that you make

will serve to make you more able

to move onto greater things.
